Services

CoinJar provides a hosted bitcoin wallet where you may store, transfer, and send your bitcoin to other bitcoin addresses. CoinJar also allows users to buy and sell bitcoin. CoinJar does not have control of, or liability for, the products or services that are paid for with CoinJar services. We do not guarantee the identity of any user or other party or ensure that a buyer will complete a transaction. CoinJar is not a money transmitter. CoinJar assists its users in bitcoin transactions.

CoinJar reserves the right to restrict your service and / or disable your user ID and password, and to refuse to process or cancel any pending transaction, as required by law, court order or any other binding government order.

Payments

Each transaction that you process using our service is subject to a transaction fee. Our current transaction fees are: 1% of the transaction amount for sales and 1% of the transaction amount for purchases. We will deduct the applicable transaction fees from your CoinJar wallet or, if there are insufficient funds in your CoinJar wallet, from your nominated primary purchase method upon the completion of your transaction. By using our website and our services, you agree that we may deduct bitcoins held in your CoinJar wallet in satisfaction of any outstanding amount owed by you to CoinJar under these terms. Wherever practicable, we will notify you in advance before making such a deduction.

It is your responsibility to determine what, if any, taxes apply to the payments you make or receive, and it is your responsibility to collect, report and remit the correct tax to the appropriate tax authority. CoinJar is not responsible for determining whether taxes apply to your transaction, or for collecting, reporting or remitting any taxes arising from any transaction.

All amounts payable under this Agreement to CoinJar are exclusive of any VAT. If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by CoinJar and CoinJar is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, you must pay to CoinJar (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT.

Bitcoin

CoinJar provides a service and acts as agent to purchase and sell bitcoin. The legal status of bitcoin is uncertain. It is not legal tender.

Trading in digital or virtual commodities, goods, or products is inherently risky. You should be aware that the price or value of bitcoin can change rapidly, and may fall or decrease significantly and without warning. By using our services, you represent and warrant that you understand the risks associated with bitcoins and digital or virtual commodities, goods, or products.

CoinJar accepts no responsibility for any loss or damages if you provide us with any wrong or false information, including but not limited to, incorrect wallet IDs. CoinJar has no responsibility for ensuring that a third party you are dealing with will or is authorised to complete the transaction. CoinJar has no control over or liability for the delivery, quality, safety, legality or any other aspect of any goods or services that you may purchase or sell to or from a third party. If there are any problems with the way in which a third party has transacted with you, or has provided services to you, you must handle them directly with that third party.

CoinJar cannot cancel or reverse any bitcoin-to-bitcoin transactions, as long as they are accepted and confirmed on the bitcoin network. Once submitted to the bitcoin network, bitcoin transactions are subject to verification for a period of time, awaiting confirmation by the bitcoin network. A transaction is not complete until this verification has been complete, and transactions will not be reflected in your CoinJar bitcoin balance until complete.

If or when in doubt regarding any or all of our services, please obtain independent legal and / or financial advice, including but not limited to, the buying, selling and trading of bitcoins or any other digital commodities, products or goods, under the local laws of your jurisdiction.

CoinJar reserves the right to refuse to process any order or transaction for any reason.
